Fall-ing behind

I apologize for not posting for so long. I'm sure there were things to write about, but I just never took the time. There was a hurricane, KD jr. started school, and things have just been a whole lotta hectic. What I should post about tonight is the economy. But, that'll make my head hurt and we're busy lifting the mattress to hide our stash anyway. So...

The hurricane was worse than expected and caught a lot of people off guard. I suppose it's because we often experience false alarms. The devastation in Galveston and nearby cities was unbelievable. Houston completely shut down and gas was hard to come by. It was really a strange situation the first few days after the storm. We had gathered the necessary supplies (for the most part), were only out of electricity for 12 hours, and didn't sustain any damage on our home...Thank God. And yet, there are a lot of people still without power and some without a home and I can't imagine how hard that must be. We have nothing to complain about and everything to be grateful for. Here's to hoping that doesn't happen for another 25 years.

KD jr. starting school has been great, but totally a lot of work. We've already started two fundraisers and a book fair. Phew! It's like a whirlwind of paperwork, deadlines, sign ups, volunteering, donating, lunch making and show and tell gathering. My goodness...and this is just the beginning! My daily planner needs a daily planner.

Also on the frontier is new music! Yea!! Currently, thanks to Keith, we are bangin' our heads to Kate Nash, Santogold- L.E.S. Artistes, Kings of Leon and Adele. Now we just need that great weather to come back.
